I'm sure they've gotten plenty of negative feedback from the lack of gender, so let's hope that entices them. Personally, I prefer the story to be 2 guys anyway; I just feel the PMD stories fit Bromance better than anything else, but for the sake of those who would rather do otherwise, and of course the lovely ladies that compose half of the Pokemon fanbase, I hope genders come back into play.

Not to mention, Explorers make Attract, and other such moves, actually affect Pokemon based on gender, so not having them could potentially mess up gameplay as well.

Attract worked on everybody in the first PMD, since genders were absent from the gameplay in that one, and it's the same for this game..

But yeah. It would be dumb to remove the option to have the hero be male or female, seeing as it was in all of the other games (Even though it was mostly for the purpose of determining what Pokemon you get from the now non-existent quiz).

I'm not really sure what determines the rewards you get at the end of the dungeon, but I did notice that the rare dungeon that rewards 360 Poke instead of the usual 300 or 330 has a much greater tendency to give out multiple high quality items.

The two items I'd like to acquire before the full game's release are a pair of X-ray Specs and a pair of Gold Specs (Which let you see where any gold bars on the floor are).

I think it would've been better if you got a choice of lands. I can see one being the rocky terrain we have currently, maybe one being a more elevated cliff-face, and maybe one that's more of a barren forest. A decision on your Paradise location would have greatly helped me forgive them for the otherwise unforgivable Pokemon variety.

I'm surprised at the kinds of items everyone is getting from these Magnagates. It's almost like they let you play the actual game already in that regard. Good thing for 30 uses. I've been doing this about once a day.

I just decided to try it. Astonish hits for 145 damage. In addition, all of my Poke and Items were lost, instead of just half.

Don't mess with Kecleon.

Considering how OP he was in the previous games, I'm not really surprised.

I'm more curious about what the deal is with that sleeping Braviary who shows up from time to time, as it'll never wake up until you actually manage to cause damage to it, which seems impossible outside of Blast Seeds and maybe Dragon Rage, as it takes zero damage from everything, even after I lowered its defenses as much as possible with Tail Whip. Even the basic attack, which I presumed to deal a fixed 5 damage doesn't put a dent in it.

If it does take damage from Dragon Rage, I'm thinking it might be remotely possible to defeat if you minimize its attack stat, then keep paralyzing it with Pikachu as your leader while you have an Axew partner hit it with Dragon Rage.

Yeah, I was just curious if they lowered his power in the Magnagates, given that the Pokemon we're given has a fixed level.

Also, I've done a good 20 or so Magnagates, and not once have I seen an Axew show up.

Edit: I just realized, I've never seen a Tepig either. Great, so it seems that whatever you chose in story mode, the Magnagates will exclude. That's why I'm stuck with this stupid Pikachu half the time, who wastes the 20 PP on his ONLY attack in just a few floors, because he insists on running away with me, given that the new default partner movement is "I wonder what it would be like to play this game alongside a pug who keeps slamming his face into the 3DS and occasionally drooling."

You could also try stalling it out with the right seeds/orbs while trying the set-damage method

Yesterday I actually defeated a braviary. I was a axew with a pikachu partner, so I set pikachu to only use thunder wave, which paralyzes braviary, then I would use dragon rage on him, step back, and repeat until he died. He only gave 315 EXP per member though, and didn't give a level up or item, so it's not worth it.

So they CAN be taken down? (Assuming you mean the random sleeping Braviary that occasionally pop up) I tried hitting one a few times, but only got the 'The attack missed' or 'Braviary took no damage' messages.
